In this way, Aoba and Sanwang Xia talked and laughed all the way, and soon came to Ono Pavilion.

As the lights of Ono Pavilion appeared in the depths of the alley, Aoba noticed that today's Ono Pavilion seemed to be a little different, usually just a monotonous light Ono Pavilion, but today it used colored lights for the first time.

Aoba and Mountain King Natsu glanced at each other puzzled, their eyes full of doubts, and then opened the sliding door of Ono Pavilion and walked in.

"Welcome. As soon as I entered the door, I heard the greeting of Mr. Ono, and it was no different than usual.

This makes Aoba and Sanno Natsu even more puzzled by the changing lanterns outside the door.

"Yo boss, good evening!" Aoba greeted, and despite being curious about the lanterns outside the door, Aoba couldn't resist asking at the first time.

"Good evening, owner. Sanwang Natsu also greeted him, and did not ask about the lanterns.

"It's Uesugi and Miss Sanno, good evening!" said Ono, the manager.

So Aoba and Sanno Natsu sat down in their usual seats at the counter.

"What do you want to eat today, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" said Mr. Ono with a smile and asked the two, and it was obvious that Mr. Ono was in a very good mood today.

"What are you eating, don't be busy, what's going on outside the door, why did it suddenly change to colored lights?" Aoba finally asked.

"Oh, that's nothing, it's actually a couple of regulars who want to hold a birthday party for their son here, so I just dressed up a little, how do you feel?" Ono smiled and asked Aoba and Sanno Natsu for their opinions.

"I see, but it's only decorated outside, doesn't it need decoration in the house?" asked Aoba as he looked around at the room, which was no different from usual.

"I originally wanted to decorate this, but it seems that I'm not very good at this kind of thing, so I just gave up. Store manager Ono said with some embarrassment.

"Birthday party? Sounds interesting, so there are a lot of children coming here for a while?" said Sanwang Natsu was interested in asking about the birthday party.

"How is that possible! Where can children go out at such a late hour! It is said that it is a birthday party, but in fact it is only a couple and their children, a total of three people. There was no one in attendance. Store manager Ono explained.

"Why is that? Generally speaking, even if you hold a birthday party for your son, you still invite your child's friends at home, right?" said Sanwang Natsu.

"Who knows, every family has a situation that no one else knows!" said Ono with some emotion.

"Is their life difficult? because they live in a small place, so they can't invite friends, or are their children autistic? and they don't have any friends?" said Aoba after thinking about it.

"Uesugi is really good at getting to the point, but I don't know the specific situation, maybe there are two reasons!Okay, let's not talk about that, what do you want to eat?" Ono was also not very clear, so after saying a few words, he decisively changed the subject.

Seeing that the store manager Ono didn't want to say any more, Aoba and Sanwang Natsu didn't continue to ask.

"Boss, do you still have the curry you had last night?" asked Natsu the Sanno first.

"Curry? I saw that the response to what you ate yesterday was good, so I specially prepared some more today, do you want more?" asked the manager Ono with a smile.

"I also want curry, and then potato stew, and a pot of plum wine. Mountain King Xia's eyes lit up and he immediately ordered.

"Okay, what about Uesugi, what do you want to eat?" said Ono again.

"I'm just as good as Natsu. Aoba said dryly.

"Alright, curry, potato stew and plum wine, wait a minute. After repeating this, Mr. Ono turned around and walked into the back kitchen to start preparing.

Because plum wine and curry are ready-made. Plum wine is good as long as it comes out of the jug, and curry is always encouraged to be boiled over low heat, and it is good to serve it, so it is very fast. Ono brought the plum wine and curry first, and then went back to make the potato stew.

However, smelling the aroma of potato stew already coming out of the pot, it is clear that Mr. Ono's potato stew has been making it for a long time, and it looks like it is about to be ready.

"The boss's potato stew looks like it's already been made, and who is it specially prepared for?" said Sanno Natsu with a smile as he drank the plum wine in his cup. Apparently Sanno Natsu had already guessed something.

"Yes, because there is a regular customer who has been ordering this dish every day lately! Speaking of that regular customer, you also know Uesugi and Miss Sanno!" said Ono with a smile.

"Is the boss talking about Miss Taso?" Aoba didn't even have to think about it, and guessed it at once.

"yes. There is no one else but Miss Tado. Mr. Ono replied with a smile.

"So, Miss Tasoku hasn't come here today?" asked Sanwang Natsu.

"I haven't come here yet, Miss Tasho has been here for about the same time every day, the same time you came yesterday and Miss Uesugi and Miss Sanno! It's still a while before the time comes, so I originally wanted to cook the potato stew over low heat for a while, so that it will be more flavorful and delicious! But since Uesugi has already ordered, I'll cook it for you again in a pressure cooker, and the taste should be similar." Mr. Ono said with a smile as he split the potato stew in the pot into two parts and put it in the pressure cooker, and began to boil on high heat.

"Thank you, boss. Aoba said with a smile.

"I don't know what kind of reaction will I have when Miss Tasoku arrives and knows that the potato stew prepared for her by the boss has been partially eaten by us first?" said Sanwang Natsu with a smile.

"No matter what her reaction is, in short, she doesn't dare to talk loudly to you, the eldest lady of the Mountain King family. Aoba said with a shrug.

"I don't know why, Miss Tasho is so afraid of me, am I really that scary?" mentioning Yuna Tado's fear of Sanwang Natsu, Sanwang Xia sighed, looking completely incomprehensible.

"I'm afraid it's not that you're scary, but that the Mountain King's family is scary enough, right? Aoba said with a smile.

"What's terrible about the Mountain King's house?" said Mountain King Xia with a sudden dissatisfaction.

"It's not scary, you think, maybe it doesn't look scary, but others don't necessarily see it that way!" Aoba said, shaking his head.

"Well, I admit that the Mountain King family usually acts a little overbearing. But it's not so scary to be like this!" Mountain King Xia muttered.

"Okay, don't think about it so much, let's have a good drink!" Aoba shook his head and didn't want to say anything more, but picked up his glass and clinked glasses to Sanwang Natsu.

"Well, drink. "Sanwang Natsu touched a glass with Aoba a little depressed, and then drained the plum wine in the cup in one gulp.

At the same time, Mr. Ono also took out the finished potato stew from the pressure cooker, and then put it in two separate bowls and served it in front of Aoba and Sanno Natsu.

"Potato stew, slow use. Manager Ono said with a smile on his face as he placed two bowls of potato stew in front of Aoba and Sanno Natsu.

"Thank you boss. Aoba smiled and nodded, then picked up a bowl of potatoes. Put it in the end, and then Aoba's eyes lit up.

"Well, it's delicious, the potato stew made by the boss is really delicious. Aoba smiled and nodded constantly.

"Eat more if it's delicious. Store manager Ono said with a hint of smugness on his face.

"Indeed, it's as delicious as yesterday's, and it's really worthy of the boss." After tasting it, Sanwang Natsuya squinted his eyes happily and said.

Suddenly, the smugness on the face of the store manager Ono could not be concealed.

"Slow use, I'm going to prepare for the next birthday party. Manager Ono said hello to Aoba and Natsu Sanno, and was ready to go back to the kitchen to continue his work.

Apparently for the next birthday party. Mr. Ono still has a lot of ingredients to prepare.

"The boss is going to get busy, and if there is a need, we will greet you. Aoba nodded and said with a smile.

"Okay, remember to greet me if you need to. Mr. Ono smiled. Turning around and entering the kitchen, he heard the sound of kitchen knives slicing on the cutting board, and Mr. Ono began to prepare.

"Aoba-kun, should we stay. Wait a minute, what about the upcoming birthday party?" said Sanwang Natsu with plum wine in his hand, thinking.

"Then we're uninvited, right?" Aoba hesitated.

"The boss didn't say that he needed to clear the field, what's wrong!" said with a smile from the mountain king.

"If you want to participate, you can stay. Even though it's a birthday party, they don't have any plans to charter the venue, so it's okay for everyone to stay, and we can just help celebrate together!" said Mr. Ono's voice in the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of pots and bowls colliding, and it was obvious that Mr. Ono had taken the time to say as he was preparing the meal.

"Yes, yes, I've been to many birthday parties, but I've never had such an interesting birthday party. Mountain King Xia said with a look of interest.

Indeed, to say that the birthday party of the mountain king Xia has participated in a lot, all kinds of young ladies from famous families, what kind of birthday party the mountain king Xia has attended, and even her own birthday party has been held many times, but these birthday parties have one thing in common, that is, they are all extremely luxurious, and like the upcoming birthday party in front of him, it is still the first time in his life that the mountain king Xia has encountered, and he is naturally very interested.

"Okay!" Aoba looked at the excited appearance of Sanwang Natsu, and couldn't refuse, so he finally had to agree, and then asked the busy manager Ono in the kitchen, "Boss, when will the couple you said are going to celebrate their son's birthday?"

"It should be soon! It's almost time to say it's coming. Ono said, looking at the old clock hanging on the wall.

"Then we'll wait. Aoba looked at the expectant eyes of the mountain king Natsu and finally said.

"Oh, that's amazing. Mountain King Xia rarely cheered, and it could be seen that she was indeed looking forward to this special birthday party.

"But since it's a birthday party, do we need to prepare some gifts or something?" Aoba said after a moment's thought.

"Yes, we didn't prepare a gift!" "Mountain King Xia also thought of this question and immediately frowned.

"Actually, I think you don't need to be so formal! You just happened to meet at the right time, and if you gave gifts, it would make them feel uncomfortable. Manager Ono came out of the kitchen and said.

"Alright then, we'll listen to the boss. Aoba and Mountain King Natsu glanced at each other, and Aoba nodded slowly and said.

So just as Aoba and Sanno Natsu decided to stay and see what the birthday party was like for a while, and the manager Ono had prepared the ingredients, there was a sound of the door being pulled open outside the door of Onodei, and two middle-aged figures, a man and a woman, walked into Onotei together.

"Mr. Takasaka, Mrs. Takasaka, you're here!" said Ono as he greeted the two.

"Trouble the boss today. The woman who was called Mrs. Takasaka by the manager of Ono said politely.

"What's the trouble, I want to thank you for taking care of my business, but why didn't you see your son? Isn't it going to be his birthday today?" said Ono with a smile, and then he became confused.

So Aoba and Sanwang Natsu knew that the couple was the one who was going to celebrate their child's birthday here, but they didn't know why they were the only ones who came, so they also looked at the two with curious eyes.

As Mr. Ono asked, the two of them suddenly became embarrassed, and it was a while before Mr. Takasaka replied.

"I'm really sorry, I'm afraid he won't be able to come today. However, the meal that has been ordered will be eaten by our husband and wife. Mr. Takasaka first bowed deeply to Mr. Ono and said embarrassedly, as for the Daisuke he said, it was naturally his son's name.

"Is something going on?" asked Mr. Ono, puzzled.

"Actually, it's because Daisuke's adoptive parents have already held a birthday party for him, so he naturally won't be able to come to this birthday party we prepared for him. Mr. Takasaka said with some embarrassment.

"Adoptive parents, what's going on?" Sanwang Xia, who had been listening, couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sorry, but the two of us can't afford to raise Daisuke because of money, so I gave him away when he was very young! Mrs. Takasaka said the same.

"I see!" Sanwang Xia nodded, knowing that more things had already involved privacy, and it was difficult to ask, so he didn't speak anymore. (To be continued......)
